Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have advanced the treatment of metastatic melanoma. However, some patients develop ICI-associated toxicities like hepatitis (ie, immune-mediated hepatitis; IMH). Although these toxicities usually resolve with steroids, steroid-refractory events may occur, which may be a major source of morbidity and mortality without obviously defined treatment algorithms.

Unlabelled: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated disease with severe thromboembolic complications. HIT during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be fatal without prompt treatment. We report an unusual case of HIT observed during PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been revolutionized with the introduction of small molecule inhibitors targeting both the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family of proteins. Inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and the BH3 mimetic venetoclax are bothcurrently used as the standard of care for patients in the frontline and relapsed/refractory setting of CLL. With the clinical success of both these classes of therapies, sequencing of these agents has become a major challenge in treatment of CLL.

Objective: Multifocal epilepsy is an important subtype of epilepsy, but it is sometimes difficult to recognise in general clinical practice. Distinguishing (uni)focal from multifocal drug resistant epilepsy is important when considering surgical resection. The presence of multiple discrete autonomous epileptogenic zones may limit surgical options to neuromodulation or palliative resection.

Despite the study of BCR::ABL1-positive and -negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) providing seminal insights into cancer biology, tumor evolution and precision oncology over the past half century, significant challenges remain. MPNs are clonal hematopoietic stem cell-derived neoplasms with heterogenous clinical phenotypes and a clonal architecture which impacts the often-complex underlying genetics and microenvironment. The major driving molecular abnormalities have been well characterized, but debate on their role as disease-initiating molecular lesions continues.
